Chapter 4: Dog, You've Changed
Wu Liao clenched the cigarette butt in his hand, took a hard puff, threw it on the ground and crushed it with his foot. With a horizontal heart, I estimated that I couldn't run away from this ghost place, and I couldn't beat it. Wu Liao, who had nothing to do, leaned against the wall with his back, and could only nervously look at the direction where the voice came from in the distance.
The mechanical dog slowly approached, the metal rubbing against the ground, and there was a screeching sound. The distance was getting closer and closer, and when Wu Liao could clearly see the mechanical dog, it suddenly began to accelerate and ran desperately in the direction of Wu Liao!
Wu Liao looked at the increasingly earthly ghost things in his eyes, and subconsciously closed his eyes nervously. "Ten meters, five meters" He silently estimated the distance in his heart, and his heart was about to jump to his throat! He could tell from the sound that the mechanical dog was jumping high again with his familiar moves, and the next second it was time for him to say goodbye.
The world fell silent all at once, and there was no other sound in his ears.
Sure enough, death is a matter of moments. Wu Liao secretly said in his heart that he didn't feel a little pain, and he slowly calmed down.
Suddenly, a slimy, slippery, soft substance streaked across his face, leaving a trail of water. Feeling uncomfortable, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a mechanical dog with fangs clinging to him, a large mouth slightly open, and a dark gray hose extending from the throat with an oily substance sliding on his face. The difference was that the bright and ferocious red one-eyed had turned pale yellow.
Wu Liao was so frightened that he jumped up! He hurriedly took two steps back.
As if frightened, the mechanical dog jumped up on the spot and retreated several steps back.
Wu Liao opened his mouth slightly and muttered, "Don't eat me, give me a good time!" He opened his hands and kept waving at the mechanical dog.
The mechanical dog bowed down, slowly moved two steps forward, and sat less than a meter away from Wu Liao. The hose in the mouth moves in a regular rhythm, like a puppy that hasn't seen its owner for a long time welcomes its late owner.
"What the hell is this!" Wu Liao asked softly, although the threat seemed to be lifted, he still didn't dare to alarm the mechanical dog in front of him too much, which had nothing to do with cuteness.
"Wang, Wang" mechanical dog actually made a dog bark, no longer a vicious roar, but a metallic dog bark.
The mechanical dog then stood up, twisted its tailless buttocks, and barked softly at Wu Liao. Turning his head and running happily towards the distance, he came back with a small black backpack in his mouth. Wandering around Wu Liao with joy. Gently put the bag on the ground, and screamed, as if asking Wu Liao for credit, and there was a little arrogance in his voice.
"I'm afraid I didn't break my brain, right?" Wu Liaohu made a suspicious sound. Slowly bending down, he quickly grabbed the shoulder strap of his backpack and rummaged around with his hand.
There was a piece of bread and a few bags of puffed food in the bag, and the mouth of the bag was already a little rotten, but Wu Liao, who had been tossing for most of the day, didn't have time to care about these at all, so he tore open the package and put it in his mouth and chewed it in a big gulp. The mechanical dog tilted its head and stopped beside Wu Liao's lap, and its head was still rubbing affectionately on Wu Liao's lap, as if it wanted to be appeased and rewarded by its master.
Wu Liao stretched out his hand in disbelief, the cold touch of the metal was not as smooth as he imagined, as if there were many places, and the outermost layer of iron had already shown signs of falling off. The mechanical dog that was comforted by Wu Liao jumped happily on the spot.
After the incident at the gas station, Wu Liao never believed that the mechanical dog would change his evil and return to the right all of a sudden, not only did he not want to swallow him, but he also had a tendency to recognize him as a godfather.
About the evening, the broken clock tied to Wu Liao's body was surprisingly not broken, although the glass was covered with fine lines, but the hands were still walking accurately in every small grid. I felt a little cold, and it was time to rest. The nerves that had been crumbling for a day were completely ignited at night. He gradually relaxed, lying on the meadow where he had fallen. The wind in the cave also became fierce, and the cool invaded, and the cave was a little darker, and I could barely see the surroundings clearly.
The cold current invaded his body, and Wu Liao tightened the denim jacket on his body, hugging his body. Trying to get a little more warmth. The mechanical dog came running over from a distance, and a few pieces of firewood came from nowhere, and they all fell around Wu Liao with a bang. Then the whole nest was next to Wu Liao, leaning on the ground with his head in a daze, if it weren't for the fangs in his mouth and the metallic skin glowing with cold light, Wu Liao would have felt that this was the dog he had raised since he was a child. Although he didn't fully believe in this guy, if he wanted to eat himself, he would have swallowed it a long time ago, right? Wu Liao could only comfort himself in this way.
After some setbacks, Wu Liao lit a bonfire, and the crimson flames emitted light and heat around him. He took advantage of the faint warm current to let go of the fatigue of the day, curled up on the meadow, and fell into a deep sleep. And the mechanical dog did lie honestly beside Wu Liao, and the cave at night seemed to be calm.
In Wu Liao's dream, there was such a strange scene: the town was full of people, the streets of just a few hundred meters were crowded with people, and even the gas station on the corner of the street was lined up with a long line of cars waiting for the price reduction of gasoline. The small restaurant with leftovers that Wu Liao often passed by was also full of people, and the cute fat proprietress was standing at the door loudly soliciting guests. There were even a few little girls who were smiling like flowers and threw a few winks at Wu Liao.
The old man Wu Liao snorted with satisfaction, turned over and continued to dream his sweet dreams.
The mechanical dog stood up on its feet and slammed at Wu Liao. The pedestrians on the side of the road all looked at Wu Liao with envy, as if they were very envious of him for having such a cute little pet. With a whining sound, the faces of the pedestrians on the street suddenly changed, and everyone took out all kinds of guns from somewhere. The sound of loading came from these weapons, and with a bang, all the weapons were aimed at Wu Liao. The mechanical dog quickly hid behind Wu Liao, tilting his head to look at these people who looked ill-intentioned. "Who are you and why are you here?" A man raised the pitch-black muzzle and aimed it at Wu Liao, his eyes glancing at him from the bottom up.
Wu Liao was thinking about how to respond to these ridiculous pictures in his dream. He felt as if his body had been kicked twice, and he waved his hands impatiently. But he suddenly heard the angry roar of the mechanical dog, and the things he had experienced the day before kept coming back to his eyes, and he woke up subconsciously.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a black and shiny muzzle pointed at his head. There were four or five people standing in front of him, each with a spear, and the mechanical dog was subdued by one of them, and was lying on the ground and whining at Wu Liao.
"Who are you? Why is it here? "The owner of this gun looks a little old, and his face and exposed forearms are full of battle scars. He said exactly the same thing as in his dream.
